Anyone have issues with Conan crapping out early? OG of 1.050 now down to 1.032 after 10 days. Used it in 10 gallons of a fresh hop IPA with Cascade and Chinook. The batch literally tastes like pineapple juice. No citrus whatsoever. I fermented at 68 the entire time. Just upped it to 72 to see...
I brewed mine back in January, still in the primary. I sampled it a month in and there was a distinct cider taste which is still present 6 months later. The only thing I changed in the recipe was the yeast, I used White Labs Saison II and dregs from a bottle of Seizoen Bretta that I grew up in a...
I brewed this on 1/26/13 and pulled a sample tonight. Smells fantastic, lots of funk with just a hint of tartness. The taste though... I'm getting a cidery, semi-sweet finish (at 1.004). I brewed this with White Labs Farmhouse Blend II and a started I made with Logsdon Farmhouse Seizoen Bretta...

It tastes good... really good. I may brew this one again in a few weeks. A friend offered me staves from a freshly cut Bourbon Trace barrel so I'm going to age half of it with those.
Two questions on this one. I've brewed a Breakfast Stout and I'm about ready to rack to my secondaries (splitting 5g into two 3g fermenters so I can age one on oak). Here's the recipe:
6.6 lbs. (3.0 kg) Briess light, unhopped, malt extract
1.7 lbs. (0.77 kg) light dry extract
22 oz. (0.62...
I definitely want a little roast from this beer. Better to add the Carafa III at the beginning of the mash or add it towards the end and use some roasted malt?
